Under this programme global empowerement initiavive provides communities with skills, Knowledge and capacity to secure and improve their quality of life. This thematic area has the following programmes:
Global Empowerement Initiative
believes that every child has the right to safe, quality education. Our programs focus
specifically on the most vulnerable groups, such as girls children with disabilities,
children from minority
groups, and those living in areas of poverty.Global Empowerement Initiative strives to
increase access to education for girls and boys, increase inclusive education for
children with disabilities, bridge the gender
digital divide, and increase access to education during emergencies.
In addition
to focusing on in-school education and curriculum GEI also addresses issues dealing with
education out of school, early childhood
care, and pre-primary education.
Global Empowerement Initiative provides access to medical care through direct primary care, referrals and payment for outside services, health care education and emergency financial support. Our program supports moderately to severely undernourished children. We also work to reduce risks of chronic disease from obesity in children and educate caregivers on nutrition practices.
Reproductive health helps reduce early pregnancy and sexually transmitted diseases. Reducing adolescent substance abuse reduces risky behaviors and later health problems and increases life expectancies.
Safe drinking-water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH) are crucial to
human health and well -being. Safe WASH is not only a prerequisite to health, but
contributes to livelihoods, school attendance and dignity and helps to
create resilient communities living in healthy environments. Devastating economics
impacts are anticipated in most Regions and for the most vulnerable and marginalized
people in society.
Human and economic costs
are likely to be larger for Fragile, Conflict, and Violence (FCV)-affected regions and
lower and middle-income areas, that generally have limited coverage and capacity of
water supply and sanitation systems, lower health
care capacity, larger informal sectors, limited fiscal space, and poorer governance. As
such, for all interventions we try to reduce illness and death related to WASH cases as
well as do ample community trainining in
areas such as General Hygiene, Personal Hygiene, Proper Disposl of waste
e.t.c
Our Wash Initiatives are important Survival interventions for communities
living on the edge of poverty of lack access to Basic Human
Needs.
Food sustainability is defined as long-term food security that
ensures environmental, economic, and social sustainability of food systems at every
stage.
Over the years, the Global Empowerement Initiative has successfully
established an integrated approach towards Food & livestock sustainable development. It
has consolidated a unique platform for the facilitation of dialogue, understanding, and
consensus among a diverse participation
of actors, fostering progress towards policy and practice change. It has conducted
analysis and assessments to facilitate innovation tools, technical solution and
guidelines to support best practices along the whole
Food & livestock value chain at economic, social and environmental level.
Growing
diverse crops, increasing biodiversity, ensuring soil health and farming with nature are
some of the strategies that can improve
food resilience, especially among small-scale farmers. However, the best yields can only
be obtained locally if farmers have access to seeds, water, nutrients, pest management
solutions, soils, biodiversity and knowledge.
Under This Programme Global Empowerement Initiative Works With
The Communities To empower them to be champions of environmental conservation and
bolster their coping and resllience to Climate change.
Work and Educate
communities against engaging in environmental destructive practices e.g Soil Erossion,
Deforestation, Charcoal Burning, Poaching e.t.c.
We also educate and equip them
on new methods of cooking as most of them
depend on Charcoal and Firewood which are harmful to the environments and also young
infants.
Global Empowerment Initiative has developed Community-Based
Conflict Transformation Programs (CBCTP) which engage communities in peacebuilding and
reconciliation by equipping them with peacebuilding tools at the grassroots
level in Kenya. These programs have been practically tested and proved to be effective
in building mutual trust between the diverse ethnic groups.Global Empowerment Initiative
has organised other peace conferences,
including three day conference that trained peace agents recruited from the grassroots,
which in turn led to the creation of community-based peace forums.
The goal of
training each community-based peace forum
is to break the cycle of violence that has occurred in the region since 1992, building
harmonious socio-cultural structures between formerly rival communities and narratives.
Three community leaders from each peace
forum were nominated for the purpose of coordination with GEI to implement the
Community-Based Conflict Transformation Programs; GEI takes pride in being one of the
organisations which helped a peaceful general election
in 2013/2017.
